JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics

Decomposition of \(X\) exhibits a rate constant for \(0.05\, \mu g/year\). How many years are required for the decomposition of \(5\, \mu g\) of \(X\) into \(2.5\, \mu g\) ?

  1. A \(50\)
  2. B \(25\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to unit of rate constant it is a zero order reaction then half life of reaction will be \({t_{1/2}} = \frac{{{C_0}}}{{2k}} = \frac{{5\,\mu g}}{{2 \times 0.05\,\mu g/year}} = 50\,years\)
